Viktor Frankl words from Man’s Search for Meaning: “I did not know whether my wife was alive, and I had no means of finding out (during all my prison life there was no outgoing or incoming mail): but at that moment it ceased to matter. There was no need for me to know; nothing could touch the strength of my love, my thoughts, and the imagine of my wife (pp. 50).“
Note: No matter our situation, no matter where we find ourselves, no one can take away the memories we choose to cherish. No one can take away the moments we felt loved. No one can take away those moments when we were surrounded in a bubble of happiness. We can recall those moments anytime we choose. Try it. Recall a time when you felt happy, truly happy. Who was there? What was the occasion? Now that you’ve recalled it, how do you feel?
